Risk and Resilience Variables as Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress and Growth: A Longitudinal Media-Based Study
Not everyone exposed to a traumatic event develops posttraumatic stress symptoms; as such, identifying predispositional variables (i.e., risk and resilience factors) associated with such symptoms would be clinically advantageous. Most experimental investigations of posttraumatic stress symptoms have been necessarily retrospective, making causal determinations of predispositional variables difficult. Proof-of-concept research has supported using media imagery as a useful analogue for exploring predispositional risk factors for posttraumatic stress.
